Re: good speakers? need help picking amp

I'd go with an alpine.
I have a mrp-f450.You could probably pick up one used for around $100 on ebay.
Great lil amp.Runs cool,Real quiet (no noise),Bass is strong,highs are crisp.
Not a Mcintosh but it does what its supposed to.

Re: good speakers? need help picking amp

I had four pioneer speakers in the factory locations and one 12" JL audio sub in a small box that fit into that space under the hatchback, and I powered ALL of it with a 400 watt Pioneer amplifier...with the sub output bridged, too, and it sounded excellent....but I am not a fan of HUGE BASS that shakes houses across the entire frickin' neighborhood, so I was happy. It sounded dang good while I was in my car, and that is all that mattered to me. It was loud enough to annoy the crap out of people, too, if I wanted to turn it way up.
